Office Paper
Reducing your paper use and purchasing paper with recycled content can help to save precious resources, and reduce UBC's carbon offset costs.
Producing paper is very resource intensive and requires a lot of energy, water, and raw materials. As per provincial legislation, UBC must buy carbon offsets for all office paper purchased.
When purchasing office paper through UBC's preferred paper supplier (Staples Professional), choose paper with a minimum of 30 per cent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, or alternative fibre paper.
